flophouse cot in the summertime," she says. "You mar get up stiff, but you , " I h . won t get up crummy. n t e wInter, however, she badgers them until they awaken. She punches them in the ribs with her umbrella and, if necessary, gets down on her knees and slaps their faces. "\\""hen a bum is sleeping off his load, you could saw off his leg and he wouldn't notice J?othing," she says. Sometimes a bum who has been awakened by Mazie tries to take a poke at her. \Vhen this happens, she assumes a spraddle-legged stance, like a fencer, and jabs the air viciously with her umbrella. "Stand back," she cries, "or I'll put your eyes out." If a man is too weak, sodden, or spiritless to get up, Mazie grabs his el- bows and heaves him to his feet. Hold- ing him erect, she guides him to the nearest flophouse and pulls and pushes him up the stairs to the lobby. She pays the clerk for the man's lodging (thirty cents is the customary price) and insists w- on his having at least two blankets. .>" Then, with the help of the clerk or the bouncer, she takes off the man's shoes, unbuttons his collar, loosens his belt, and puts him to bed with his clothes on. This is usually a tumultuous process, and sometimes many of the lodgers are awakened. They stick their heads out of the doors of their cubicles. "It's Mazie!" they shout. "Hello, Mazie!" Now and then an emotional bum will walk out in his underwear and insist on shaking Mazie's hand. "God bless you, l'v1azie, old girl!" he will cry. Mazie does not approve of such antics. "Go back to bed, you old goat," she says. If she is acquainted with the clerk and trusts him, she leaves some change with him and asks that it be given to the bum when he wakes up. Flophouses are for- Inen-only establishments, and Mazie is the only female who has ever crossed the threshold of many of them. At least a couple of times a week, Mazie finds injured en lying in the street. 0 n these occasions she tele- phones Police Headquarters and asks for ..,'.., an ambulance from Gouverneur or , Beekman Street, the hospitals which take m care of most Bowery cases. She knows Inany of the drivers from these hospitals by name and orders them around. Po- lice say she summons more ambulances than an} other private citizen in town, and she is proud of this. "I don't over- do it," she says. "D nless a man is all stove-up and bloody, I don't put in a call, but if I had my way, the wagons would be rolling all night long. There's hardly a bum on the 130wery who don't belong in a hospitaL'" On her walk, Mazie usually tries to I"""w ,øØ W'\f'<"' !,"'? \. ..... :!o" JII.- ........._ ........ ....,.. .
